Hi, I have tried to connect to other sites using the rails console to 
call HTTPClient.new and connecting. Offhand I cannot remember the url (I 
may be able to look it up tomorrow).

My understanding is that this is an issue with httpclient reading the 
local 'cert' file and having issues with it. At the point of error, I 
believe that the server has not been contacted yet. But my 
'understanding' is definitely theory.
